A system for moving a tele-operated car containing electrical equipment is disclosed herein which comprises a drive mechanism, a trolley chain continuously driven by the drive mechanism, a railway disposed along the trolley chain, a tele-operated car with a sprocket wheel engaging the trolley chain and a rail wheel engaging the railway, and a generator in the car for supplying electric power to the electrical equipment. The generator is selectively driven by the sprocket wheel when the car is stopped or the rail wheel when the car is moving.
A mounting assembly secures a generator and facilitates attachment to a railroad railcar on the end of the railcar axle. The generator produces electricity from the axle of a railroad railcar while it is traveling on a railroad track. A generator is mounted with a generator bracket and a backing plate to an existing bearing adapter on the railcar. A drive hub engages axle bolts on the railcar axle. As the railcar axle turns, the drive hub turns and with the drive hub connected to a generator the generator subsequently rotates to supply electricity to the railcar. Different types of generators can be attached with the mounting assembly to the railcar. The mounting assembly allows generators to be mounted without modification to the existing railcar structure.
